I run gateron browns and my favorite part of running o rings is that the tactile bump is more satifying and more noticable because it removes a lot of the extra travel after the tactile bump. You can feel the bump and then it hits the end of the travel almost instantly. so satisfying, cant go wrong for 6-7 bucks. only thing id do now is double up on the spacebar
@@bbraydenn Not loud as in the actuation of the key but the caps themselves were pretty annoying which is why I copped some O rings to dampen them. I wasn't thinking about the added benefit of a slightly shorter travel and better feeling tactile bumps. I really like gateron browns while they're "cheaper made" than cherry mx they're not necessarily lesser quality. Essentially a brown is a blue but without the audible click. I ended up going with the keychron k2 because is the only tkl that retains the 60% size without ditching the row of function keys and the DELETE button. It also works wired via usb C to A or wirelessly with blutooth (which is surprisingly low latency I accidently had a whole sesh on bluetooth and almost didn't notice)
@@swagsnail5881 I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a night and day difference but my homies say it makes a huge difference over discord lol. My keys barely trigger the decibel threshold as long as im not smacking them. I also doubled up on o rings on my space bar
Yeah that is the same feeling for me on my GMMK and the Ergdodox EZ with the Kailh Coppers, they give you the automatic resistance then the quick bottom out. Makes the the typing feeling better and makes it sound better as well, you go from having a bottom out clack to having a upstroke clack, really changes the idea of what the clacks are all about.
Thank you so much! i recently bought myself a razer huntsman te and i thought i had to return it because it was so loud! But... you saved me because i still love everything about this keyboard and i couldnt help myself but to be impressed about how good and informative your video is. It even answered all of my questions!!! Thank You!
Oh the razer huntsman te is nice and all but I think the razer purple switches are quiter XD I traded my huntsman te with my friend for his huntsman mini and even though it is loud and clicky it is a more satisfying sound compared to the huntsman te which felt unnatural
Lubed Gateron Clears + Orings Literally the most silent keyboard I've ever made. There's still the issue of the upward clack but I'm going to try this with Outemu Silent Whites.
Great information here on o-rings on a mechanical keyboard. I recently installed o-rings on an MX Clear Durgod TKL and it’s great. You still have that tactility but the bottom out is just a little less harsh.
The niche youtube channel we all didn't know we needed! Literally everything I have needed to know over the last few days you have covered in a video! Definitely earned a sub from me 🚀
been watching a while and finally subbed. you should have 10x the subs man. best personality, best reviews, and all around good info. keep it up techne.
Idk if you mentioned this but there's different thickness in O-rings. On Amazon specifically I found 40A soft and 50A hard O rings. I have the Ducky One 2 Mini (w/ brown switches) and it sounds and feels amazing even with O rings. I went with the 40a softer version over the 50A hard ones after doing some research and don't regret it. I can actually fit 2 40A O rings under one keycap but I 1000% recommend only having one. 2 of them just don't feel right trust me lol.
Subbed my guy. Just started watching your videos and you've had countless videos with the answers to many of my question. Nice job - just bought 2 packs of these in clear to double down on each keys. My fiancée is going to be happy about quieter keys lol.
I have a local brand keyboard with Outemu blue switch (which I initially didn't really like). I added 2 silicone o-ring to each keycap and now it's far more comfortable. Never thought o-rings would help a lot and minimize the sounds of keycaps bottoming out!
Hey, Techne! It's always a small hollyday when I'm watching you reviews!) Always in a good mood, so positive, keep going! Wish you stay always kinda this)) and even better with your work and editing and familly and all the things! xD I'm sorry but it's just goes from the bottom of my heart 😊
@@taatham8058 Overall I think it does a great job of dampening my keyboard. I have the DK63, and the o- rings help from the key caps from making contact with keyboard keeping it from making the loud and obnoxious sound I always get. The only con for my keyboard is the feeling, it took some time getting use to because the o-ring would prevent it from pressing all the down.
@@taatham8058 What kind of keyboard do you have? For my keyboard it dampened the sound about 30% If you toss me any of your socials I could send you a video or a comparison.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest the best way to put 2 or 3 rings on to prevent bunching is to put the rings on 1 a time, attached to keyboard then remove and put the 2nd ring on. That way the first ring is already pushed down to the end of the key. It definitely does reduce the travel length which I like and the space bar is the loudest key on the board so even putting more on that one than the other keys helps I think. You know I never thought I would be interested in this stuff but when you think about it as an office worker it's the main way we communicate with the computer so it's more than worthwhile to put some investment into. People are so quick to buy 2 or 3 monitors for productivity without even thinking of this stuff.
I know this is kind of old but it depends on the measurements of the O-rings as well as they come in different sizes. I found that a 10mm outer diam, 5mm inner diam with a 2.5mm thickness to really help with the Cherry MX Red switches. It quietens them quite a bit and the actuation point is closer and the typing feel flies like you are always in a hurry! O-rings are really worth it on a case by case basis of course. Really appreciate Sherlock Guru over here who is always meticulous and fastidious and tells us things as they are which is really helpful. Cheers man!
IMO, I like Keyboard o-rings as they reduce the key travel distance. saving a few milliseconds on a key press may not seem like much, but it can assist with your skill in games by simply making your movements a little faster and more precise
Great video:) 50% or more of the sound is actually when you let go of the keycap. The faster you let it go, the higher is the sound. The O-rings would help a bit, since the travel is less for the keycap, but still.
I use o rings with my hyperx alloy fps pro and it made a world of a difference, my wife appreciates it since I stream later in the day and the room I'm in is very small so it really helps with reducing the noise I produce when I'm gaming
try swapping out the orings and use switch films, it surprisingly works and sound better than orings. switch films does not have mushy feel and nicer sound than orings
Great mod, thank you for the video! I bought a huntsman tkl just recently and was considering placing them underneath the keycaps, what thickness did you use for them? Would you recommend 2 o rings per key of 2.5mm thickness or 1.5mm?
Thanks so much buddy!!! What keycaps are you using in the Huntsman TE (the red ones)? I have zero experienced with mechanical keyboard and the TE feels fantastic but sounds as hell
its like a wearing a sneaker (with o-ring) vs leather boots (without) sound make a little bit of difference, but most importantly it reduces loudness of switch stem bottom out sound by not letting it hit down all way down, yknow what i meant and i used it before and i agree with techne, really recommending o-rings if you press your keys so hard like a crazy sweaty player or regular rhythm game player
try swapping out the orings and use switch films, it surprisingly works and sound better than orings. switch films does not have mushy feel and nicer sound than orings
On the razer I think the rings are absorbing the sound instead of stopping the key cap from making contact with plastic. The key caps on the razer with optical switches I don’t think come into contact with any plastic when it bottoms out.
I got a loud keyboard (Logitech G513) and a blue yeti nano mic and when i am streaming it is SO loud even with Filters to cut out the sound its louder then my voice half the time and makes my audio sound horrible! So i been looking for these and after watching The o's do slightly cut down the volume but what do you think? Should i spend 15$ on these rings with what i got right now?
Hello, I like playing for extended amounts of time (alot in the night) and I am getting a huntsman te I wanna play while my family sleeps sooo should I buy them??? Can you send a link for the uk Another question. How many should I put on each keycaps Plz respond Thx
Typically, I find orings to dampen sound the most effectively on browns (vs reds) and reduces the pinging of bottoming out on metal boards (vs plastic). A lot of budget boards tend to be pretty loud due to rattly keycaps and terrible stabilizers which are sometimes a hit or miss in terms of sound dampening, whereas my current main, the Kemove 61 Shadow with gateron brown, is pretty quiet out of the box, more so than other boards with orings, and doesn't even seem to need them.
try swapping out the orings and use switch films, it surprisingly works and sound better than orings. switch films does not have mushy feel and nicer sound than orings
I Heard that the expensive O rings aren't that better than the cheaper ones. Anyways I would use the cheaper ones, bc if I don't like them, it's not like I've thrown many money out
I'm confused about the recommendation with the Huntsman TE since the O ring doesn't interact with the design of the switch at all. The stem itself doesn't depress or move back up. I think the only thing the O ring does is add more mass to soak up some of the vibration. But at the end of the day if it does something for you it does something right?
@@mrb-btw yea it's weird because even on a lot of keyboards they don't necessarily reduce noise to begin with just the sound profile and bottomout feeling.
O-rings change the actuation point??? I thought they just raised the cap slightly as the o-ring doesn't actually suppress the switch atall. The travel distance remains constant? You just get a damped bottom out?
I like membrane keyboards because of the "squishyness" at the end. But I have a custom keyboard and have to use the mechanical. What are the softest, squishiest O-rings available?
the only negative I found when using o-rings is if you use a keyboard with rgb with shine will not be as great because the o-rings will block some of the light.
Doesn't seem like the o-rings on the huntsman do anything except make the keys taller. The red part of the switch moves as a whole so no part of the ring ever actually hits anything when you strike a key. The actuation distance remains the same as well.
try swapping out the orings and use switch films, it surprisingly works and sound better than orings. switch films does not have mushy feel and nicer sound than orings
Do these Orings actually reduce tye travel distance on the red optical switches because of the way they are built??? The red part of the switch bottoms out not at the key stem.
O-rings don't do anything to the razer huntsman, it sounds the same with or without o-rings, and the height difference you were talking about was because the o-rings sit against the stem of the switch.
hey so im looking for these o rings but how big are there i see you can order them in 8x5x1.5mm or in 9x4x2.5mm please help me out here thx btw this helped a lot
Thanks Techne. These rings seem to be something, that haven't seen very many reviews. However, I've used them on the CM Storm Quickfire, which worked well with this board. Now I'm using the new Logitech G513 Carbon, so no "O" rings for me, due to the proprietary Romer G key caps.

Dude thank you so much for recommending putting 2 o rings on the huntsman te. I was about to return this thing because of how bad the clack was and omg night and day difference!
Is there really that much of a difference I was looking forward to getting the razer huntsman TE but then I heard that loud switch and there were not any other options for switches if it really makes a difference then it will be the perfect keyboard for me
Paradox. Yes I would have returned it without these o rings. It’s not the click of the switch but the clack of the key hitting the bottom/top that is so loud. Also this keyboard is SUPER sensitive like almost annoyingly so. I’ve gotten used to it but still misspell words and make mistakes because it activates at the drop of a needle
I used them on mx red on my alloy fps pro, but I like the sound more without them. I tried them on other boards with opticals and i prefer them on those boards
It is optical switches using lazed tech once the lazers broke it actuates the fastest out of most keyboards this will only give it less travel an maybe faster bottom out cba though i have o rings but i dont use them they helped my blues feel abit faster
Is it me or almost all the questions I have about keyboards, you have an answer to it in a while video thanks ❤️❤️

O-rings don't do anything to the razer huntsman, it sounds the same with or without o-rings, and the height difference you were talking about was because the o-rings sit against the stem of the switch.
hey so im looking for these o rings but how big are there i see you can order them in 8x5x1.5mm or in 9x4x2.5mm please help me out here thx btw this helped a lot
does doubling them up make it even quieter? or not really?
Thanks Techne.
These rings seem to be something, that haven't seen very many reviews.
However, I've used them on the CM Storm Quickfire, which worked well with this board.
Now I'm using the new Logitech G513 Carbon, so no "O" rings for me, due to the proprietary Romer G key caps.
yeah they are great on the razer board, but took a while to get use to on the Cherry MX Red
is it worth the o rings on the apex pro tkl?
try swapping out the orings and use switch films, it surprisingly works and sound better than orings. switch films does not have mushy feel and nicer sound than orings
U can’t tell me he’s not the best reviewer lmfao u got a sub
Dude thank you so much for recommending putting 2 o rings on the huntsman te. I was about to return this thing because of how bad the clack was and omg night and day difference!
Is there really that much of a difference I was looking forward to getting the razer huntsman TE but then I heard that loud switch and there were not any other options for switches if it really makes a difference then it will be the perfect keyboard for me
Paradox. Yes I would have returned it without these o rings. It’s not the click of the switch but the clack of the key hitting the bottom/top that is so loud. Also this keyboard is SUPER sensitive like almost annoyingly so. I’ve gotten used to it but still misspell words and make mistakes because it activates at the drop of a needle
Ok
Would you recommend it? Im going to be gaming and doing homework with it
I’d say get a ducky if your going to be doing homework too mostly because you can make a ton of errors if you get the razer huntsman te
maybe i missed it but are the o-rings soft silicone or hard o-rings?
soft
i just want to shorten my travel distance, i can hear my cherry blues through my headset anyways
Do you recommend these for optical brown switches?
o rings are all personal preference.
I just found your channel, good stuff 👍
Do these make the razer te have higher actuation ? will i need to press a key harder with 2 orings in it?
same
I used them on mx red on my alloy fps pro, but I like the sound more without them.
I tried them on other boards with opticals and i prefer them on those boards
Techne posted the video I needed woop woop
Ive been reading and a lot of people were claiming that O-Rings dont work with Huntsman keyboards because of the mechanism. Is this true?
It is optical switches using lazed tech once the lazers broke it actuates the fastest out of most keyboards this will only give it less travel an maybe faster bottom out cba though i have o rings but i dont use them they helped my blues feel abit faster
